CKEY FAQ

We believe that if you’re dedicated to supporting your local community, then you should be rewarded for it. CommuniKey members get just that. Deals and discounts at over 120 local businesses, notifications about flash deals, events, and more!

These deals are exclusive to CommuniKey members (because they’re awesome), and can be used as many times as you want. The upside in savings is humongous, and only costs $1.99/month.

This is happening because your subscription failed to pay. Go into the app settings and update your credit card information. After that, allow up to 24-48 hours for your subscription to renew. If you would like to expedite this process, email us at info@thecommunikey.com.

If you are still having problems after 48 hours, email us as well, and we’ll straighten it out right away!

Once you are a member with the mobile app or physical card, redeeming a deal is very simple. Simply show the redeem screen or physical CommuniKey membership card to the person ringing you up or your server to receive the discount.

That depends on how much you use it! However, we have had loyal members save hundreds over the course of the year. Since the deals are available whenever you want them, they easily start to add up. Flash-deals and Weekly Freebies also sweeten the deal by creating even more opportunities to explore your community and save.

Our goal is to find businesses that are relevant to everyone. CommuniKey has mechanics, hair salons, the B-Mets, screen-printing, yoga studios, gyms, insurance brokers, retail, theaters, tanning salons, liquor stores, tons and tons of restaurants/local eateries and more. We are adding more businesses each month, and it is our goal to provide you with a deal/discount for any aspect of your life!

In general, most businesses, including restaurants, offer a flat 10-25% off. Some offer free appetizers or item with your purchase, while our specialty businesses can get more specific with their deals. Remember, you can use these deals as much as you want! We also offer specific daily deals for every day of the week, give out free items every week and have our businesses offer flash-deals to members regularly.

The weekly freebie is a special perk for CommuniKey members only. We give out a limited amount of a free items every week (usually a free meal). All you have to do is get there early and show the weekly freebie coupon with your CommmuniKey. No strings attached.

We host a variety of events, ranging from pizza parties, to open bars, to eating contests, to our Student Kick-Off where we invite our businesses to give out free samples. CommuniKey members get extra perks for showing up to events!

We switched to a mobile app because it solved a few important problems, and added a lot of functionality for CommuniKey members. One of the biggest issues solved by the app is now having all of the CommuniKey deals in your pocket, making it much easier to know which businesses accept CommuniKey. We also plan on adding lots of new features down the road to make the app truly amazing.

If you do not have a smart phone and still want to become a CommuniKey member, send us an email at binghamton@thecommunikey.com with the subject line “I Do Not Have a Smart Phone”. We will have a limited amount of card-memberships available to purchase.
